Minnesota State Senate Races to Watch For:

It is possible that we can flip the MN state senate majority to DFL.
There are three key races to watch for, per "FYI Politics" on Am950 progressive radio:

SD56 - Burnsville/Savage area
https://ballotpedia.org/Minnesota_State_Senate_District_56
Lindsey Port - DFL
Dan Hall -- R (9-year incumbent)

SD26 - Rochester area
https://ballotpedia.org/Minnesota_State_Senate_District_26
Aleta Borrud - DFL
Carla Nelson - R (9-year incumbent)

SD14 - St. Cloud area
https://ballotpedia.org/Minnesota_State_Senate_District_14
Aric Putman - DFL
Jerry Ralph - R (3-year incumbent)

If we take the senate & keep the house, just think of the legislation that can be passed!
We could have sensible gun regulations. Legalized recreational marijuana. Compassionate assisted death for terminally ill. Automatic voter registration.
What ones can you think of?

We aren't going to enact any progressive legislation, and instead we'll get a whole hell of a lot of greedbanger Christo-Fascist legislation if we split our vote.
